Megan Rapinoe was one of nine players to stay in the locker room during the national anthem before Sunday's NWSL game between the Seattle Reign and FC Kansas City.
Along with Rapinoe, Seattle's Lauren Barnes, Diana Matheson, Elli Reed and Madalyn Schiffel also stayed in the locker room during the anthem, according to SB Nation. For Kansas City, Yael Averbuch, Sydney Leroux, Becky Sauerbrunn and Desiree Scott all stayed in the locker room while the anthem played.
Rapinoe kneeled during the national anthem last year, becoming one of the first athletes in any sport to join Colin Kaepernick in his protest.
